Abstract
Paragangliomas of the retroperitoneum arise from specialized neural crest cells distributed along the aorta in association with the sympathetic chain. We report a rare case of extra-adrenal paraganglioma between inferior vena cava and aorta in suprarenal portion with lateral displacement of inferior vena cava. This patient presented with left upper motor neuron facial palsy and left hemiparesis secondary to high blood pressure. The rarest presentation of paraganglioma with stroke has never been described to the best of our knowledge in the literature.
